How to remove/turn off this feature...

[kdavis220]

One of my little kids turned this feature on and it is annoying the mess out of me. I don't know what it's called so I can find it to disable it. I've included a screenshot so if anyone is familiar with this and knows how to remove it, I'd be MOST appreciative!

Thanks. 🙂

By the way, it's the feature that is showing the text in the black box towards the bottom of the page that says "You are currently on a HTML context..." etc

I believe its a setting in System Preferences>Universal Access

Do you have your sound on? I think it should be reading to you.
Text to Speech.

Yep, go to System Preferences > Universal Access > VoiceOver > Off
Or just press Command-Fn-F5

Thanks GGJ...I wasn't quite sure what it was called but knew where it was in the menus...haha.

And I'm on Windows PC at work so couldn't look.
